| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/AL.28.2.30.Contd. what this really means, is that the body is likely to be held up for some time. This is unfortunate, but it cannot be helped because it is no use us making an experimental car unless it is going to be useful. As regards the instrument patch, we recommend we fit the present standard on this 20 HP. We are not satisfied with the K.S. telegauge and until we have a petrol level indicators which is reliable we think it is best to leave it off the patch. We will send the outer frame of an instrument patch to Messrs. Park Ward's and also the pot which fits over the rear universal joint. As regards the colour the one you suggest is not one we should choose personally, but we do not think this matters very much. We would certainly recommend the leather covering for the upholstery.
